What I gather from that is that Shanahan believes that the expected move for a forward gathering the puck in his own zone, at even strength, while competing with the opposing team’s last defender, is to turn his body and curl back into his own zone? Good one.

Letang got two for boarding. Whatever. He hit Burmistrov from behind, whether he tried to or not. Two minutes, his time is served. Now he gets two games because Shanahan has no clue.

You know what’s better? Burmistrov, the victim, admittied today that he put himself in that position, and that he was at fault for the way the play unfolded.
